# hcaptcha solver > An API and Chrome extension for solving visual hCaptcha challenges, using either a customer's browser or a managed Chrome session. The API base URL is https://api.hcaptchasolver.org/v2. API operations require an account, an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`, and sufficient prepaid credits. Send a unique `Idempotency-Key` when creating a solution or browser task. Image mode accepts a challenge and its images and returns actions for the caller to apply in their browser. Managed browser mode accepts a public page URL and sitekey and returns a task ID; poll that task for its result. A token issued by a widget does not confirm acceptance by the destination website's backend. The website defaults to English and also supports Brazilian Portuguese, German, and Spanish. This is an independent product, not affiliated with hCaptcha. ## API and documentation - [OpenAPI reference](https://api.hcaptchasolver.org/v2/openapi.json): Request and response schemas for the API. - [Developer guide](https://hcaptchasolver.org/docs): Authentication, image solutions, managed browser tasks, polling, cancellation, and feedback. - [Browser Bridge guide](https://hcaptchasolver.org/docs?section=browser-bridge): Use your own Chrome with our API.
